The three female Shoveler were still present late afternoon today.
It was great to bump into Keithr from this forum who had just seen the Goosander fly off. We shared a few Kingfisher tales lol.
On the Bourn Brook I saw the Kingfisher diving. Great!

Did the rounds of my Local places and ended up at Manor Farm Park.....great to meet a couple of Togs/birders who had dropped in on way back from Upton....and then Jason ( zomerset) arrived but he had missed the Goosanders.
Some great chat with Jason about Kings and locations.....cheers.
Awkward lighting when trying to nab the Goosander and Shoveller so had to go with auto iso which gave EVER MORE noise than I usually get...lol.
So pics are a bit flat after N/R....

After the report of the Dipper yesterday on this forum and Birdguides I was determined to find it. I finally found it this morning on the Bourn Brook down behind the Uni halls. Great!
A few Grey Wagtails, a female Bullfinch and the Kingfisher on the brook at the back of the school. Great!

Early morning Kingfisher on the Bourn Brook by the grey bridge. Could not find one on the Rea which was surprising but they've sectioned off a bit for flood defence work. Then one on the Bourn right next to the Valley Parkway boating pond which was a surprise. Only the third time I've seen one there.
This afternoon a Kingfisher on the River Tame under Spaghetti Junction. Always good to find one there. Great!

Pochard, nice!
Nice one Keith!
The Kingfisher on the Bourn Brook has moved down the brook near the res. I could just see it sat on a tree perch over the brook late afternoon. Great!
Hi,
only live in Halesowen so had a walk on Thursday morning between Leasow Drive up to just past the aquaduct on the A38, didn't see anything in this area apart from a Moorhen and a few small birds along the path.
First of all were we in the right area & and could you tell me if where the Kingfisher has moved to is towards or away from the city ?
Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve, I have seen one a couple times this year on the stretch opposite to Leasow Drive, I've seen them from behind the Uni up the brook for a mile towards Woodgate Valley. Happy hunting!
